4.2 - INFLATING AND DEFLATING THE TIRE
• To inflate the tire: remove the cap, unscrew the valve and inflate using a compressor or a pump with a pressure gauge to obtain the required
pressure, then tighten the valve and re-fit the cap.
• To deflate the tire: remove the cap, slightly unscrew the valve, then press it until the required pressure is obtained; tighten the valve and re-fit
the cap.
CAUTION!
Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure recommended by the tire manufacturer or for the cross section of the clincher tire you
are using.
Excessive tire pressure reduces grip on the road and increases the risk that the tire will unexpectedly burst.
Inflation pressure that is too low reduces tire performance and increases the probability of sudden and unexpected loss of tire pres-
sure. In addition, premature wear and damage to the rim may occur.
WARNING!
Incorrect tire pressure could cause tire failure or loss of control of the bicycle, resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.
